The Tallmadge City School District is hoping voters say YES on two bond issues on the upcoming ballot to make changes to its buildings and athletic facilities.

Issue 43 is a 3.86 mill bond issue that would consolidate the district's primary, elementary and middle schools into two buildings, a K-5 building and a 6-8 building on the middle school campus.

Issue 44 is a 0.9 mill bond issue that would relocate the high school athletic facilities to its current campus.

"The way we see it, it's just a completion of that original vision when we built that high school is that eventually we would get all the high school athletic facilities over the high school," said Superintendent Jeff Ferguson.

Ferguson said the reason for splitting the issues was to remain transparent.

"The board of education though it was very important to be transparent, so they didn't want any confusion when you look at one number and then say 'how much is the athletics going to cost," said Ferguson.

As Week 6 approaches and Copley and Tallmadge get ready to meet on the gridiron, both of the athletic directors stopped by to talk about the game, their respective schools, and what's been going on this week.

New athletic director of Copley Michael Chuppa joined Sam and Brad live on the road as they broadcast live from Redstone Pub ahead of the game.

Tallmadge Athletic Director Don Seeker also stopped by the show to talk about Homecoming week at Tallmadge and their matchup with the Indians. He also discussed how first-year head coach Alan Vanderink has galvanized the community and the student body.

First year head football coach at Tallmadge High School Alan Vanderink is excited about the 2016 season, and he says the staff and the players are getting ready to lace up the cleats and get after it in the Suburban League.

Alan spoke with us during Suburban League Media Day and he says the league is a competitive and well-balanced league.

"There's no weeks that you can take off," Vanderink said. "That's good for our coaches and our young people."

He says the community has been behind him 100 percent since he got the job at Tallmadge, coming over from the Copley staff, where he served as an assistant.
